Our Story
From a local contractor to a global innovator leading the contracting space, at Nesma & Partners, we have a rich history of developing the communities we serve.
Over the last 40+ years, we have grown into a leading innovator. Our growth has been powered by a series of strategic acquisitions & partnerships focusing on building long-term relationships with our clients, vendors, partners, and ultimately with the communities we call home. We’ve spent the last two decades delivering over 200 projects and mega-projects dedicated to powering the growth and progress of our region. From urban development and energy infrastructure to aviation, healthcare, and hospitality facilities, our monumental impact has enriched the lives of millions in the GCC.
As we look to the future, we are proud of our team of more than 35,000 skilled and hardworking people who have dedicated themselves to delivering innovative and sustainable progress for generations to come.
Nesma & Partners was established in 1981 as “Nesma & Al Fadl,” a general building contractor serving the needs of the rapidly developing communities throughout the KSA.
We expanded our offering in the 1990’s by partnering with Nesma-Emcor, in 1995, to power electro-mechanical construction works. In 1997, we partnered with Nesma-Agap to break into the Oil & Gas Construction sector.
The synergies realized in those partnerships unlocked an exciting period of growth for all three, and in 2004 we merged together and Nesma & Partners was born. By 2005, our revenues exceeded SAR 500M, enabling us to employ over 3000 people.
By 2010, our revenues exceeded SAR 1 billion, enabling us to employ over 10,000 people.
Now with over SAR 60B in revenues, we have remained committed to reinvesting in our communities. We’ve kept our sights set on the goals of reducing the carbon footprint of our projects, maximizing our commitment to the local community, and improving sustainability reporting to ensure an ethical supply chain with our suppliers and subcontractors.
In February 2023, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), one of the largest sovereign wealth funds in the world, announced its investment in Nesma & Partners as a national champion to support our operations and businesses' regional and international expansion. Through this investment, Nesma & Partners cemented their place as a leader in the industrial, energy, and infrastructure sectors within Saudi Arabia and the backing to grow that status internationally.
In August 2023, Nesma & Partners announced the acquisition of Kent, a Leading Global Engineering and Project Management Firm in the Energy Sector.
